Whats an entertaining book i could read over the summer?

I know, reading isnt fun to many of you, but a lot of times i get into a book, and really enjoy it. I do have summer reading for my school, but i want to know a good book to read for "fun" that is going to be entertainning. These are some books i really enjoyed, maybe it would help... All the Harry Potters Eragon/Eldest The Sea of Trolls-BY Nancy Farmer Pendragon (series) Charlie Bone ( i think thats what its called) Emperor: The Gates of Rome And different books like that. Action,Fantasy, i enjoy books with Magic (like harry potter type magic) and books that took place when there were kings and knights, and fights with swords and mystical creatures. So if you have any good book suggestions based off the above info or that you enjoyed that i might like, i would appreciate it. *I am a fast and excellent reader, the longest book on that list took my 9 days, and that was The Sea of Trolls, so i can handle big books =)* thanks

  4. Ive read almost EVERY single one on your list so i tink you might like some of my other favs look at my profile i have a HUGE llist
  5. Try the DaVinci Code ... great book and it bit higher standard than what you've been reading
  6. I recommend the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. I started by reading Small Gods, which is a good place to start because it doesn't recquire that you read any of the others (at my last count there were 25)
  7. "On the Road" by Jack Keroac
  8. http://www.geocities.com/amazliza/ Its not complete, so keep checking up on it.
  9. omg i like to read too. i would suggest "harry potter and the deathly shallows"(when it comes out in july), "the devil's arithmetic"( its easy and im not jewish but the book is very touching), tom clancy books, "inheart", "inkspell", or "the true confessions of charlotte doyle"(LOVED IT!!). have fun and enjoy the books! =]
  10. read BEOWULF or the LAY OF HAUELOK i assure you will adore there classic mysticisim
  11. A very entertaining Trilogy is The Door Within Trilogy. It is very well written and very good. The 3 books are 1. The Door Within 2. The Rise of the Wyrm Lord. 3. The Final Storm. It is about a boy named Aiden. he can travel between the real world and The Relm like his grandfather did before him. A King is calling him and he is a Knight to protect the Relm. It is very Intreging and will keep you reading.
  12. define normal- its pretty good
  13. I suggest The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman. I just finished the book and really enjoyed it, plus I would suggest reading it before the movie comes out later this year.
  14. Good fantasy books... got plenty of those ;) Just a quick selection of the best... -A Shadow on the Glass - Ian Irvine (boring start, but good ending, and the start of his first set of 4 books). -Geomancer - Ian Irvine (fantastic book, and the start of his 2nd set of 4 books). -Waywalkers - Catherine Webb (aimed at teenagers, but its a fantastic book non-the-less) -The Magicians Guild - Trudi Canavan Just some books there, but if you want to just try random books, try charity shops or market places, look in the fantasy section, read the blurb, and buy if you like it, they will be cheap. Thats what I do, and you can find some true gems in those places, at a fraction of the price :)
  15. I suggest The Divide by Nicholas Evans. He is the author of The Horse Whisperer. The Divide is about a girl who gets involved in demonstrating for various ecological causes, and gets charged with murder. It's very interesting.
  16. I think you should read the uglies trilogy, I know it might take you only a few days, its a good book. about 400 pages or so. You can also read Inkheart and Inkspell. After that there is the Midnighters trilogy and Twilight. twilight has another book after it called new moon and another comes out after that.
  17. I agree that if you haven't already read Phillip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials Trilogy' you should definitely do so this Summer. It's considered a slightly more adult Harry Potter, but don't let that put you off. It's a perfect step up from the HP books. I read the trilogy after the Harry Potters and now i fight in my head which i like best. Also, you haven't got to wait long for the new book being hyped as the next Harry Potter. A book called Tunnels by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams. It's published July 2nd. I'm excited. :)
  18. I'm recycling one of my previous answers, but here ya go:P Raymond E. Feist's books are pretty good. The Riftwar-Series: Magician (1982) Silverthorn (1985) A Darkness at Sethanon (1986) Serpentwar-Series: Prince of the Blood (1989) The King's Buccaneer (1992) The Empire-Sequence: written with Janny Wurts Daughter of the Empire (1987) Servant of the Empire (1990) Mistress of the Empire (1992) The Serpentwar-Saga: Shadow of a Dark Queen (1994) Rise of a Merchant Prince (1995) Rage of a Demon King (1997) Shards of a Broken Crown (1998) The Riftwar Legacy: Krondor the Betrayal (1998) Krondor: the Assassins (September 1999) Krondor: Tear of the Gods (2000) The Conclave of Shadows: Talon of the Silver Hawk (2003) King of Foxes (2004) Exile's Return (2005) The Darkwar Saga Flight of the Nighthawks(2006) Into a Dark Room(2007) Other books: Faerie Tale (1988)
  19. I think that u should read "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer. It has a lot of fiction in it and I couldn't put it down. Its sort of thick but it is soooo good. Happy Reading!
  20. maybe you'd like some Chris Moore books? I'd start with Lamb.
